Margaret Thatcher once declared that patriotism is one of the essential pillars of a nation’s greatness. Fast forward fifty years, and it’s time to pay homage to the legacy of the Iron Lady, a figure who passionately championed traditional values and freedom. Her belief that a country’s survival hinges on its connection to its history and values stands more relevant than ever.
The world is teeming with optimism as the tides turn toward a resurgent patriotism, especially in the U.S. with Donald Trump at the helm. The upcoming CPAC conference in Budapest, themed “The Age of Patriots Has Begun,” epitomizes this shift. Trump’s efforts to dismantle the twin evils of wokeism and illegal immigration are akin to performing political miracles — actions that a short while ago felt almost like grasping for clouds.

In Europe, the potential for a political renaissance echoes across nations. Unlike the fast-track political maneuvering in the U.S., European politics often resembles a slow-moving tortoise trapped in a coalition-building marathon. Certain pessimists might argue this results in inertia; however, there’s a silver lining. Just as America reclaims its identity, European countries are gearing up to confront wokeism and immigration challenges head-on, inspired by Trump’s example.
At the heart of the West’s identity lie Judeo-Christian values, now threatened by the invasive forces of wokeism and multiculturalism. Wokeism reduces individuals to mere statistics, focusing on skin color and sexual preference, while traditional identity is interwoven with family, neighborhood, and national ties. Instead of promoting unity, wokeism fosters division, eroding the fundamental connections that bind individuals together within a society.
The implications of mass immigration only amplify the stakes. The catastrophic policy decisions made by leaders like Angela Merkel, who opened the borders under the misguided hope of seamless integration, stand as glaring testaments to the chaos resulting from disregarding national identity. As European voters prepare to reject these failed policies in the upcoming elections, it is clear that the winds of change are sweeping away the remnants of multiculturalism that have plagued the continent.
At the heart of this struggle resides a philosophical battle. The so-called Frankfurt School, a cadre of Marxist thinkers, has been insidiously reshaping Western thought for decades by promoting a radical vision that seeks to obliterate traditional moral frameworks. The enduring message is simple: freedom and democracy cannot thrive without an established moral order, a point underscored by luminaries such as Friedrich Hayek and Ronald Reagan.
Revisiting Thatcher’s political legacy serves as a potent reminder that the future can indeed be reclaimed. With the mission of restoring national pride, abolishing woke doctrine, and halting the incessant tide of immigration, it is clear that the founders of modern conservatism would stand united against forces threatening their core beliefs. As these battles unfold, the ideals of God, homeland, and family remain steadfast as the cornerstones of a truly free society.
